Training for the week 4/30 to 5/6 was about recovering from having run Big Sur Marathon (race report coming soon), my 73rd marathon, so that I could launch full-on into training for Canadian Death Race in short order. And that’s exactly what I did. I recovered and then started training for my target race with a 3 hour mountain run up and down and up and down, and up and down and again, Wachusett Mountain.
Although I am not focusing on Mount Washington training this year — I will train through it while keeping my eye on the real prize (Canadian Death Race) — the Wachusett run proved good training for the rockpile, which is good because I don’t know how much decent training for it I will get. Again, the focus will be Death Race.
